Czesiociuch - Polish brand foy boys and girls alike

Anyone who knows me would, I am positive, say 'this is so Petra' after seeing Czesiociuch, Polish label for kiddos with attitude. I talked to the creators, read it on EastOK Europe.

Ami Amie - cure for cold

It is freezing cold here in Budapest. The cold just sneaked up on us and we can't really grasp what is happening. Summer was so short I didn't even put away our winter coats (when it was 40 degrees outside I had no energy to put them away, after that we went on vacation, and now it is sort of coat time again.
But, there is one good thing about it, you get to go through new look books, do your research and find a pretty, snugly, colorful brand ami amie. ami amie is a Japanese children's clothing brand making what the call 'happy knits'. The clothes look so warm and comfy and the kids are adorable, just what I needed for this weather, warm clothes and happy little faces.

Our tree is gone

 During the flood we had in Budapest earlier this year I took P and baby I. to see the water levels rising, in the morning and in the evening every day. Changes were drastic, and at 4 years old he appreciates it and by seeing it he can really start grasping what the flood means and how it happens. I know it is terrible to say, but this flood was great for us. We had a fun program for morning and evenings, it brought us closer to the river and similarly to us, other people seem to be enjoying the catastrophe tourism, so our walkway along the Danube was never before (nor since) so full of people just talking walks and observing. It felt like summer at the seaside (it even attracted some wakeboarders). During that time we've gotten used to our walks down by the riverside so they continued even when water levels started going down. On one such occasion, when I only had P with me, so we could go closer to the bank without worrying I will jump in, P and I discovered this tree stump, so beautifully painted and huge. We still have no idea who had done that and why but we were secretly hoping it will stay there and can be advertized as another great Budapest backdrop.

 Lucky for us, we spent an hour goofing around there.

And how cool is it that P is wearing his EFVVA Jungle T-shirt in same colors as the tree? (I swear I didn't make him go home and change just for the photos!)

Unfortunately, our tree is gone...they took it away, piece by piece...it got smaller and smaller, until there was nothing left anymore...only Chain bridge and the Danube:)

Oh, and BTW, I am in for the Top 25 European Moms - 2013, please vote - it is just a click of a button:)

Circus Time - Efvva AW13/14

I've been heard crying over our last year's EFVVA snowflake shoes before. It is just so annoying how kids grow out of their cool clothes and shoes so quickly. And while I can force P into a T-shirt that is a tiny bit too short already, or buy bigger pants so they would fit him for just a little longer, this is not the case with shoes. Shoes can't be too big or too small, they have to fit just right, which means if you are lucky, they might last a season. So with AW13 collections and look-books popping here and there already, I started crying over our Snowflake boots again, until I saw CIRCUS BOOTS!

 

This Circus collection might as well be my favorite till now (although there is a chance I say this for each new EFVVA collection) I love the colour and that it's main goal is not to be trendy, but to be unique and stand out from the crowd.

 

And then there is Gambion collection. Gambion is a Dino-Dragon-Bird, Ewa's son's imaginary friend who apparently loves to eat Cracow obwarzanek (pretzel) also feature in the pattern. You can just fell the softness of these jammies by looking at this photo.

The whole collection will be available in the online shop and retailers worldwide at the end of august.

Jumina

I am back home after more that 2 weeks and I am so happy. Just as we pulled over in front of the house, it started snowing. Kids went to bed OK and I get to enjoy the view of snowflakes playing in front of my window.

I love snow! And you know what? I so don't care everybody is eager to write about Spring/Summer collections, because I am still in awe of Jumina Winter collection.

There is nothing on these photos I wouldn't want to wear myself. The colors, the pom-poms, the shoes.
